Hi guys, tired of deflated footballs, tune in our show on now ....

Thanks for the breakfast reports Skipmuck and Paula!  I think I need a better breakfast menu here!.... just oatmeal, toast and grapefruit juice.

Out to shovel at broadcast QRT.

Coming in NY at very nice S9+ levels at 1245 UTC.  Presume this is BBR as the playlist is electronic/techno dance music.  ID loop at 1254 UTC with e-mail address of boomboxshortwave at gmail.com.  Forgot to mention that I have their carrier on 6924.6 kHz.

 :) Nice to hear you Boombox Radio! Tuned in at 1247 UTC on 6924.6 KHZ AM and there was this booming AM signal to go along with the snow that's starting to pile up outside here in Western MA! We have about 3-4 inches already and it doesn't look like it will let up anytime soon. Hmmm, I was going to do some shoveling just now, but I think I'll kick back and listen to Boombox and maybe get my feet limbered up ;D
1250 UTC Man announcer with ID, into some contemporary pop/dance music
1254 UTC Interval signal, and repeated ID's and email address (My first time hearing your IS! Goes nicely with the snow outside!)
1256 UTC Music
1303 UTC Hey, your techno electronica is beeping 8)
1320 UTC That is some really nice audio you got there BBR!
1345 UTC Not the usual Breakfast with Boombox, but I just finished up a couple of English muffins with peanut butter....time to head out to shovel the snow. I'll leave the cassette running and pick up on the rest of the show later. Thanks BBR! Love those morning shows!

EDIT Listened back on the last 45 minutes just now and signal held up nicely at S9 here. Slick ID's...Boombox Radio on....Sirius FM, On Demand, Facebook, etc ;)
OFF around 1415 UTC with IS and sign on announcement!

Late tuning in, weak here @ 1408 with announcer.  Not able to make out much of the words.  S2 carrier.  Frequency seems to be about 6924.54

Off @ 1414.

Heard this for a few minutes while getting ready to head out and judge the local district Science Fair.  About an S3 here.
